Fast question about snmpd

On Linux I usually start with snmpd.conf empty, and then add my user (I use v3 only)

net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -ro -A SHA512 -X AES -a pass1 -x pass2 myuser

on openwrt the net-snmp-config program is not available, so I edit the snmpd.conf

createUser myuser SHA512 "pass1" AES "pass2"

I restart snmpd and user is not created.
How to create v3 user?

With ldd seems the support of encryption is not enabled (openssl libs are missing) so I think the snmpd packaged for openwrt don' support
v3.
Very bad imho.

It doesn't seem you're using the OpenWrt configs.

(BTW, the config file should be self-instructing.)

I use it, but as you can see there is no option anywhere for enable snmpv3 (which require: user, pass and "ciphers" to use).
I hope in the future the maintainers insert this possibility.
